Hi there. 

Take a look on this log that works for me: https://goo.gl/oOrnpT

I think the problem with yours one is tag misordering.

I bet MDEntryType (tag 269) records shold be strictly after NoMDEntryTypes (tag 267)

Hi EOL, I follwed your example but I'm not getting any quote reply. And CSERVER sending me HEARTBEAT & TESTID.
Can you you take a look at my messages to see if they matches with yours?

Hey taskman9

According to Spotware FIX specification you can't subscribe to only bid or only ask spot events, so the part |267=2|269=0|269=1| is compulsory for spot subscription request, while your requests are not correct from protocol point of view: field NoMDEntryTypes (tag 267) [that means "number of market data entry types"] is set to 2, but it is followed by only one MDEntryType (tag 269) field

Why do you keep sending messages to get new quotes after sending 263=1

that's a...

OK, I don't understand why everybody is trying to maintain the protocol by themselves instead of taking some ready FIX engine framework like QuickFIX.

you do realise, that you will have to process all the heartbeats and test requests by your own code, don't you?

particulary your code uses different set of SenderCompID, SenderSubID, TargetCompID and TargetSubID parameters in logon message and spot subscription.

And it seems, that it calculates incorrect checksums that could be a reason why server ignores them: https://goo.gl/y5KAkn
